Hearing that you or a family member needs a stent is stressful — and the cost is often the first worry. This guide explains what angioplasty costs in Hyderabad, what you are paying for, and how to get the procedure covered by insurance.

Angioplasty Cost in Hyderabad at a Glance

Approximate costs at Yashoda Hospitals, Hitech City, as of October 2026. A written estimate is given after the angiogram, once the number and type of blockages are known.

What Is Coronary Angioplasty?

Coronary angioplasty (also called PTCA or PCI) opens a narrowed or blocked heart artery without open surgery. A thin tube is passed — usually through the wrist — to the blockage, a tiny balloon widens the artery, and a drug-eluting stent (a fine metal mesh coated with medicine) is left in place to keep it open. Most planned patients walk the same day and go home within a day or two. Learn more about coronary angioplasty.

What Is Included in the Angioplasty Package?

• Cath lab, procedure and cardiologist’s fees
• One drug-eluting stent, balloons, guidewires and catheters
• Contrast dye and medicines used during the procedure
• Post-procedure monitoring and hospital stay as per the package
• Discharge advice and follow-up plan

Factors That Affect Angioplasty Cost

• Number of stents: each additional stent adds the cost of the stent and the extra hardware.
• Type of stent: in India, the prices of coronary stents are capped by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), so the stent itself is a smaller part of the bill than many people expect. Different brands still differ slightly.
• Complexity of the blockage: heavily calcified arteries, long blockages, left main disease, bifurcations or chronic total occlusions (CTO) may need special balloons, rotablation or intravascular lithotripsy.
• Imaging and physiology: IVUS, OCT or FFR help place the stent perfectly and avoid unnecessary stents. They add cost but improve long-term results.
• Drug-coated balloon instead of a stent: in selected patients, a drug-coated balloon may be used.
• Emergency vs planned: primary angioplasty during a heart attack includes emergency and ICU care.
• Room category and length of stay, plus other conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease.

Is Angioplasty Covered by Insurance or CGHS?

Yes. Angioplasty is a standard, medically necessary treatment and is covered by most health insurance policies. At Yashoda Hospitals, Hitech City, cashless insurance and CGHS / ECHS are accepted, subject to eligibility, policy limits and pre-authorisation. Our team helps you with the approval paperwork. Check your policy’s room-rent limit, as choosing a higher room category can increase the amount you pay yourself.

Angioplasty vs Bypass Surgery — Cost and Recovery

For one or two blockages, angioplasty is usually less expensive than bypass surgery (CABG) and recovery is much faster — most people return to desk work within a week. For some patients, especially with many blockages and diabetes, bypass surgery may be the better long-term option. The right choice depends on your angiogram, not on cost alone. Read how the right treatment is chosen.
